Legal snap according to NFHS rules if the following conditions were met.

Ball must leave snapper's hand(s).
Must be one quick continuous motion.

COULD have a foul if this was a planned loose ball in the vicinity of the snapper (but from what is described, I don't think this was planned).

No foul for the Team A lineman picking the ball up. Nothing in the rulebook forbids an offensive lineman from advancing a bad snap (except the rule above).

The second "snap" was simply a backwards pass from the lineman to the kicker which was also legal.

I don't see any fouls on this play.
